Otherwise, it would only invite all kinds of abuse, or the other party would simply take action directly.

As someone from a poor background, even if Ma Dadan was once a desperate criminal—

He also understood that when living under someone else's roof, he must be honest, otherwise it might lead the other party to use some extreme means to make him shut up forever.

He was originally such a person, so he naturally understood that such a method was very significant.

And the other party also told him time and time again with their words and deeds that they would take such ruthless action, and even if they had an official status—

They could also directly kill him here. Even if it wasn't in a direct way, it was also possible to do it in an indirect way.

Just like Lao Ba who sought his own death.

Even if these things were not led by Yang Lusi, the meaning was the same. This time she didn't lead it, next time she could completely use such a method to induce Ma Dadan and his group to make such a choice.

So right now, even though Ma Dadan had already set aside his hanging heart, he didn't lose the caution from before. Facing all choices, he had to think carefully again and again.

It was just that the critical moment hadn't arrived yet.

Everyone stood on that circular platform, and they surrounded the Armillary Sphere from before.

The next moment, Yang Lusi followed what Zhang Lin said and found a button on the Armillary Sphere.

Wang Kaixuan slapped his head and said: "I seem to be blind!"

The reason he said this was because he felt it was exceptionally conspicuous after seeing this button.

And just now, everyone had surrounded the Armillary Sphere and observed it for a long time, but they didn't observe it as meticulously as Zhang Lin did through the live stream lens.

From beginning to end, they didn't find that button.

If they had found it, it might have led to some people being itchy-handed and pressing it directly.

Even if Wang Kaixuan wouldn't do this, Ma Dadan and his group might very well have made such a stupid act.

After all, their previous behavior had already verified how stupid they were.

But now saying these things was useless. After Yang Lusi found the button, she didn't press it directly.

Instead, she raised her head and scanned the four people on her side, and they all nodded at each other.

Then Yang Lusi pressed the button without hesitation.

At this moment, the Armillary Sphere suddenly started to turn.

Creak, creak—the Armillary Sphere, which didn't know how many years it had been sealed in dust, emitted a harsh roaring sound.

And this roaring basically only lasted for a few seconds.

Then, it was like natural running-in; the sound of metal friction disappeared, and what they heard next was a particularly smooth trembling sound.

As the Armillary Sphere started, the door of the Underworld Hall that connected to where they came from closed immediately.

This time, it didn't give any buffer space and fell directly.

It even made a loud "boom" sound.

Seeing this scene, Ma Dadan, including the people in his team, were stunned after seeing this situation, and subconsciously wanted to question what Yang Lusi was doing.

After pressing this button, it was obviously seeking death, even if they couldn't find a corresponding way out before.

But now there were completely other choices. And in this choice, it seemed that for Ma Dadan, the best choice was to use explosives to blow open a gap quickly.

Then they could either continue to walk deeper into the tomb through this gap, or escape from here—both were possible.

But the current behavior was undoubtedly sealing their own path.

Using such a backup plan to turn the original two spaces into one space, could they really still escape?

Now there was no place to lay explosives. If they blew forward again, they would waste a portion of explosives, and there were not many explosives left.

Ma Dadan didn't know how many explosives this so-called Second Archaeological Team brought this time, but the quantity of their homemade explosives was not enough to support them blowing all the way from here to the outside.

The thought he had before was also an expedient measure, but this thought was also cut off. Ma Dadan wanted to speak but finally held back.

He understood the principle of living under someone else's roof. The other party doing this must have a main reason, including that he always heard the other party discussing that Mr. Zhang; it must be the order given by that person.

That was why they made such a choice. Under this premise, Ma Dadan chose to keep himself calm and gave his subordinates a wink, not letting them raise any objections.

Since they had reached this situation, if they were to speak out or raise other opinions, it might lead these people to use some method to make them shut up forever.

This was what Ma Dadan was worried about before.
